Yeah and that reflash was an absolute joke. Everyone who went through that never had it work properly...why you think they give out the FMUs now? lol

If you guys ever think about going for an RSM Supercharger kit, read this:

The bypass valve you're probably thinking of that's on a roots style supercharger is different than what they really use on the RSM kits. The RSM kits use actual blow off valves that you would use with a turbo setup.

The spooling sound is from the charger itself, not the blow off valve (or "bypass valve").

Why would a supercharger need a BOV

Why would a roots charger need a bypass valve? Same concept. To release pressure.
